The shadow of an eagle that had set forth from those high and craggy fastnesses crossed the line of riders below and they looked up to mark it where it rode in that brittle blue and faultless void.
Blood Meridian (1985) by Cormac McCarthy
Woke up, fell out of bed, dragged a comb across my head. Found my way downstairs and drank a cup and looking up I noticed I was late. Found my coat and grabbed my hat, made the bus in seconds flat. Found my way upstairs and had a smoke, and somebody spoke and I went into a dream.
A Day in the Life by The Beatles
Heaven & earth do not unite… Thus the superior man falls back upon his inner worth in order to escape the difficulties.
The I Ching or Book of Changes
In the USA, crocodiles are at the southern tip of Florida.
Any other type of crocodilian in any other state is most certainly an alligator.
Find what you love and let it kill you.
Let it drain you of your all, cling onto your back, and weigh you down into eventual nothingness.
Let it devour your remains – for all things will kill you, both slowly & fastly – but it’s much better to be killed by a lover.

Ride we had planned to take last year.
My biking buddy and I were stretching the concept of aging. We were trusting our instincts to keep us out of cars’ way, and pushing forward in terms of distance, testing our survival chances one way & another.
“To a biker the sensation is real and pure and akin to something spiritual: you seek, and on the road you find.”
Caroline Knapp
Walk a fine line between flexibility & consistency. A strategist must have faith in his strategy and the courage to follow it through and still be open-minded enough to realize when a change of course is required.
Garry Kasparov
Everything is condensed into one single moment. It decides our life.
